Volume 1 Chapter 164: Despair

When Dawu and I realized that we were trapped in an infinite fantasy loop, we didn't leave the house as rashly as before.

It seemed that as long as we didn't leave the house, we wouldn't fall into a fantasy, so we soon came to a very simple conclusion.

The point that plunged us into a fantasy came when we left the house and fled to the city gates.

"Let's summarize each other, everything we saw and heard on the way to escape is listed, and what keeps us in a fantasy is definitely something on the road." I said.

Subsequently, based on the list of the two of us, the results are as follows.

As soon as we get out of this house, we will see a yellow lantern on the opposite side of the street that is much more yellow than the lantern in front of the other houses.

The second is to keep running forward, and soon we will see a storefront with an open door again.

Then, when we were about to reach the city gate, we would both hear the sound of gongs and drums from the Yin Drum Corps every time.

"I think what makes us enter the illusion should be the drumming of the Yin Drum Team, every time we hear this sound, we will fall into the illusion, and after entering the illusion, we will unconsciously run in the opposite direction until we return to this room."

After Dawu's brief description, there was not much deviation from my thoughts.

Because the other items don't look like nodes that can make us fall into a fantasy world, although they have their particularities, but they are just special, and they don't seem to have anything enough to make us hallucinate.

So this time, we decided to plug our ears with something, as long as we can't hear the sound of the Yin Drum Team, we will definitely be able to escape from Ruyi City smoothly!

In order not to hear the drumming, we pulled out everything in our backpacks and tried to find something that would block everything from hearing.

Eventually, we found a ball of disinfectant cotton in the bag, moistened it with water and stuffed it into our ears, and Dawu and I tried to yell a few times face to face, and after finding that we couldn't hear anything, we were ready to flee again.

As my gesture fell, we ran in the direction of the gate again, this time not as fast as the previous ones.

Although the house where we were located was not particularly far from the city gate, we were able to run back and forth twice with such heavy equipment in an hour, and our physical strength had already been exhausted.

What would have taken us 10 minutes to get to the road took us nearly 20 minutes this time.

This time, however, we used an alcohol swab in our ears, so we couldn't hear anything, and we managed not to hear the drumming of the Yin Drum Corps.

When we saw the city gate this time, we saw joy in each other's eyes, and as we stepped out of Ruyi City, a cold air flow hit, which made me feel refreshed.

I immediately plucked the cotton from my ears and shouted, "The grass is finally out, cool!" ”

Dawu was also cheering, and we hated to hug each other.

We didn't hesitate, we hurried and ran towards the dark desert, this time we went far away, and we had consumed too much physical strength in Ruyi City before, so we were already a little exhausted and had to stop and rest.

However, as soon as I sat down, a chill hit me overhead.

I sat up from the ground again, and found Dawu staring at me with a sad face, and the scene of the surrounding desert changed back to the house we were in.

I looked around in disbelief, and didn't say anything for a while. I couldn't figure out what went wrong.

"This ..... Third master, didn't we plug our ears with cotton, why did we still fall into the illusion? Dawu looked at me with a look of despair.

I shook my head painfully, this time I clearly felt the change in temperature after leaving Ruyi City in the illusion, so I didn't suspect that we were still in the illusion.

If it weren't for Dawu being the first to sense that something was wrong this time, I'm afraid I would never have realized that I was still in an illusion.

Although it is not yet clear why we are still falling into the illusion again, it is enough to be sure that this illusion will not only cause us to loop indefinitely, but also that it will have a self-improvement consciousness that will gradually repair the logical loopholes that appear in the illusion.

It will make the illusion more real, so that after we fall into the illusion many times, we will improve our logical mistakes, so that we will gradually no longer notice the difference between the illusion and reality.

In this way, I am afraid that if we fall into the illusion once or twice, we will never wake up again!

Thinking of this, I got goosebumps all over my body, and then told Dawu about this speculation, and there was no blood on his face at all.

"Damn, I'd rather run into those demons than encounter this kind of unclear mechanism, like a punch on the cotton, weak, grass!"

This time, we both fell into an extremely long silence.

It's already nine o'clock in the evening, and I was going to get out of here when it was just getting dark, but who would have expected to encounter this situation. And if you don't escape now, there is a good chance that you will encounter that strange fog again later, and you will see black clumps crawling on the ground.

At that point, we won't have the chance to try to get out of here again.

Dawu smiled bitterly and said, "Third Master, I'm afraid we only have two chances left to get out of here, if we haven't been able to escape after two times, I'm afraid that the illusion is so real that neither of us will notice that it's fake." ”

Dawu's words plunged the two of us directly into deep despair.......
